This video was taken at the CeritAku@Readings event held in March 2008 at No Black Tie, KL. It was a week before the 12th General Elections.
Dr. Farish A. Noor talks about his religio-political studies in South-East Asia, particularly the conscious repression of the region's pre-Islamic history, and pleas for open dialogue and appreciation of the deep past in the nation-building context.
Dr. Farish is introduced by CeritAku host and organiser, Bernice Chauly.
